Release Notes:
The Chakras release the second single from their debut album, æBuild Me
A SwanÆ through Planet Function Records on the 1st July 2011 with the
album due for release in September.
Led by brothers Rocky and Gordo Whittaker, but soul mates since their
days at school, The Chakras were hell bent on writing music that evoked
some sort of reaction. Raised on a diet of Soul In Heaven era Verve
self-belief, and Jesus and Mary ChainÆs wanton fuzz, the band took an
early hazy blueprint of how they wanted to sound and immediately
removed anything that might interfere with their creating of it. They
killed off long-standing relationships, resigned from the day-jobs and
cut local ties, moved to London and have here made a record that took
those noisy, hissing 8-track bedroom demos and transformed the very
same songs into swirling, guitar-heavy anthems.
The skyscraping æBuild Me A SwanÆ single on limited 7ö, The ChakrasÆ
work with producer/mixer Chris Potter (Urban Hymns) has given the band
a freedom and license to reference those immediate shoegaze influences,
but not mask the melodies with too much unnecessary noise. As friends
who intrinsically trust each otherÆs judgment, The Chakras put their
trust in PotterÆs experience, and æBuild Me A SwanÆ is a telling first
band statement.
The track Drifting (Take A Walk Inside) is the next single to be taken
from æBuild Me A SwanÆ û with itÆs soaring chorus, it bobs and weaves
with a power and intent.
